What I Would Like to See Again: Controller Reset

What I would like to see again: resetting with the controller buttons. Maybe it is a weird concept, but I think the controller reset is something that gets forgotten sometimes. My best recollection of this function is the one we know from the Game Boy. It was Start+Select+A+B.

It way seem like a useless function now, but let us imagine the following situation with another old console which lacked this feature: the Super Nintendo. I am trying to play Donkey Kong Country, when I accidentally choose the wrong save file. Thus I decide I need to reset the game… and I have to stand up again to reach for the switch on the machine.

I know the Game Boy had the function because it lacked a reset button, since it had to be designed as compact as possible. But consoles with that function. Nowadays we move through the menus to reset a game, but it would be great to be able to do a quick reset instead of entering a great barrage of loading menus and all.

Welcome to a blog of gaming, movies, books and some history. In here I explore the stories that have carried us over decades, yes, even centuries, to what defines us today. I hope you enjoy it and comment, I am always open to respond!
